The pandemic has highlighted the need for innovation and changes needed in the way care is delivered.  

Cinapsis aims to ease the burden with enhanced digital triage that allows GPs to call in consultants for real-time primary care decisions.

Researchers from SMART’s AMR IRG, NTU and MIT are working together to develop a rapid serological test and a rapid diagnostic test (RDT), based on protein detection.  

Getting defibrillators to cardiac arrest patients as quickly as possible is a priority for emergency services everywhere. In one area of Sweden, 112 call takers will soon be able to dispatch a drone at the same time as an ambulance to drop a defibrillator near the patient if they suspect a cardiac arrest.

The tests give users the option to share information to aid national research into the virus.

Professor Wang Linfa, Director of the Duke-NUS’ Emerging Infectious Diseases programme, and team conceived this research and invented the cPass diagnostic test.

The test uses a portable analysis unit to detect the virus in sweat.

The COVID-19 crisis has undoubtedly accelerated the adoption of digital health. Apps can play a key role in the way health and care services are delivered to patients, in supporting people to self-manage their health and wellbeing, says Liz Ashall-Payne, CEO of ORCHA.

The web-based application supports the triage, monitoring and treatment of COVID-19 patients.
